Hi, I haven't done trials riding for about 10 years but am looking to start again. I have a budget of £1700 and looking to buy a new bike. I've had Gassers and Beta's in the past (preffered Beta) but the bikes have changed a lot since I last rode them. With the budget I've got it looks like a 2006 is probably the best year I can get (poss. 2007). I don't fancy a Gasser as I've heard they can take a bit more to maintain. I have been swaying more to a 250 Sherco - Just because there seems to be more for sale and look like a nice bike. The Beta's don't look as if they have a big dip in the seat, but think this is just the rear mud guard design giving this appearance. Anyway, I'm would like something that's easy to ride and won't let me down... Any advice? P.S. am I also correct to stay clear of the 290 Sherco as I've heard these can be a bit harsh round tight technical bits? Thanks very much in advance for your help!!
